The binary operation * defined on `N` by `a*b=a+b+a b` for all `a ,\ b in N` is (a) commutative only (b) associative only (c) commutative and associative both (d) none of these

A

commutative and associative both

B

associative only

C

commutative and associative both

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Commutative
`a*b=a+b+ab`
`=b*a`
`a*b=b*a, forall a, b in N`
`*` is commutative on `N`.
Associative
`a*(b*c)=a*(b+c+bc)`
`=a+b+c+bc+ab+ac+abc` ...
